His account of how Koko the gorilla tried to seduce him is hilarious, whether it's true or not. I don't know how many performances he has left in this tour, but if you can make it, go.

Billy said he loved the original series, and didn't care for the later versions because William Shatner was the only man worthy to captain a starship. I agree with Billy 100%.

My pal told me that whenever Shatner would call to speak with his sister, it would invariably be their dad who would answer the phone, and he would shout: "Carolyn! It's Captain Kirk!" to let her know, much to her annoyance. My friend’s sister briefly dated Shatner back in the (Toronto) day.
